I think it’s more like 11% of people both don’t know what HTML and when prompted to pick from 3 options guessed that it was an STD.

So let&#x27;s assume that x% of people will say any dumb shit they find funny when asked in a survey.<p>What would be a question that has an obvious correct answer, but not so obvious that people start fucking around?<p>&quot;What color is a red ball?&quot; probably would be too easy and people would start answering sarcastically.<p>&quot;What are french fries made of?&quot; is probably too hard.

One can read from it that many people attribute HTML to, say, military - if it&#x27;s in particular MIL-STD, not just random STD.
